Gluten And Soy Allergy

I have been gluten free for a few years. I'm in college so finding ways to avoid it is very difficult. Avoiding gluten helps drastically with my stomach problems, but I noticed the same things were still happening (gas,cramping,constipation) in addition to a splotchy red rash that broke out on my face, ears and neck, and recently I've been trying to pin point what it is. I have come to the conclusion that it is soy.(still waiting to see a doctor next month and get that confirmed) Learning all the gluten products to avoid took a while to learn and I feel lost trying to figure out what products I can consume that are soy free and gluten free. I know there are many oils, gums, guars etc that are derived but I need more help. Anyone that can help, please do! Until then I suppose I will just be eating plain fruit, vegetables, and meat. Also, does anyone know what tests are done at the doctor to test for soy? Thanks,

Morgan

You can get a skin scratch test, an ELISA test, or you can do a stool test through labs like Enterolab, Diagnos-Techs, etc.

I am also Soy intolerant and get the red hive type rash on my face, especially around my mouth. I avoid all soy protein, vegetable oil (if that's all it says without giving you a source), guar gum (for me, I guess its too related to soy being a legume, it sets me off everytime), and soybean oil. I can use soy lecithin in small amounts such as in chocolate and pam cooking spray but not until just recently, I eliminated ALL soy for 6 months before trying lecithin. Peanuts (also a legume) bother me as well but I'm not saying legumes will bother you. I am okay with peas and green beans. Keeping a food diary is most helpful. I kept one for over 2 years. I know it must be hard for you in college. I went to visit my daughter last weekend at CU Boulder and she showed me the gluten free zone at the dining hall. It was one small salad bar and a very tiny fridge next to it with a 1/2 loaf of gluten-free bread in the fridge and broken tortillas in the freezer...sad!

How common is soy intolerance in celiacs? When I first started researching celiac disease, I thought soy was part of it or contained gluten or something....which is bad for me because I'm also lactose intolerant.

      Wholefoods 365 Organic Wheatgrass Powder

      Pure wheatgrass is gluten-free, however, there can be issues when they make it because the kernel/seeds can get mixed into the grass that is harvested, and then ground up in the powder. I've seen this firsthand when Jamba Juice used to cut the wheat grass in front of you (maybe they still do this), and put it in the juicer--they often included seeds that...

      Orgain Protein Powder

      I meant to specify it was an Orgain product. They have several options to choose from.

      Orgain Protein Powder

      Thank you Scott. I bought a product that has 50 superfoods from Costco online and I saw that it said gluten free but I did not see the ingredients list of this particular powder. It has wheat and barley grass. I realize the grass is not the portion that contains gluten. However, I wonder about cross contact. Since they are not certified, I might not choose...

      Feel free to share your test results here, but depending on which test(s), a positive result could make celiac disease very likely. This article might be helpful.

      Interpreting results.

      Based on the available test information, it does not appear you have celiac disease. This is a assuming you are not IGA deficient and also assuming your gluten consumption was adequate both in amount and duration in order to ensure valid antibody testing. Guidelines for the "gluten challenge" have recently been revised. It is now recommended that those seeking...

      I noticed on the label: https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/product/whole-foods-market-organic-wheatgrass-powder-california-73-ounce-b07g333x4y that it says "Contain Wheat Ingredients," which probably means that it can include the protein from the wheat kernels/seeds.

I've seen this firsthand when Jamba Juice used to cut the wheat grass in front of you (maybe they still do this), and put it in the juicer--they often included seeds that had been pushed up by the growth of the grass. In general, to be on the safe side, I think it's best to avoid wheat and barley grasses.

      Thank you Scott. I bought a product that has 50 superfoods from Costco online and I saw that it said gluten free but I did not see the ingredients list of this particular powder. It has wheat and barley grass. I realize the grass is not the portion that contains gluten. However, I wonder about cross contact. Since they are not certified, I might not choose this product but rather choose another of their powders that forgo the grasses. But, since I bought a huge tub of it, I am tempted to try it if they respond with reassurance that when they state gluten free, they mean celiac safe gluten free. Some products will make that claim but walk it back if they know you are celiac. Plus I have not had any wheat or barley products since for many years and frankly am a little intimidated to try it. Have you tried the product?

      Feel free to share your test results here, but depending on which test(s), a positive result could make celiac disease very likely. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
